Are you sure you don`t mean 11 count Aida? Never heard of 12 count!

Definitely 12ct Aida. Maureen had some several years ago but it was of a colour that made her eyes spin when she tried to use it so she swapped it with a friend.

Well, this intrigued me, so I went looking at my Zweigart and Wichelt order books and...no 12 count Aida.

Why 11 and not 12? No clue. But the only 12 count anything I found was waste canvas, jute, mono canvas, and interlock canvas.

Hi there!

I couldn't help noticing your email address - are you interested in Richard III? I am a staunch revisionist myself, and am thinking of joining the Society when I return to the UK.

My sincere apologies to everyone else to whom this would sound terribly irrelevant! It's the first time I've actually come across someone who might be interested in the Richard III Society!

-Shanti.

My wife is a life-long Ricardian but has not been a member of the Society for some years now. Since we were married over 30 years ago we've visited most of the Ricardian sites in England at one time or another during our holidays. Her friend from Kent is still am RIII member and when she visits us they both proudly wear their small "white boar" medallions; imagine their chagrin earlier this year when someone took a cursory glance at their medallions and remarked on how nice their "elephants" looked...

Count me in too - I used to be a member at one time!!

I bet you didn`t DARE to laugh, Bruce!

Richard III is a controversial king of England. This was the time when there were rivals to the English throne, so one side was good and the other bad, and vice versa. At the time Richard III was made out to be a very bad king indeed. IIRC he was accused of murdering two little princes in the Tower of London. This society promotes the idea that Richard III was a very good king indeed. HTH.

Have a look at webpage Richard III was no saint but neither was he as bad as the Tudor's would have you believe.

(apologies for the intrusive "grocer's apostrophe" in Tudors!)

Good to know that there are people of the right sort out there. Embroidery, Richard III, a knowldege of the grocer's apostrophe... it seems like heaven to me. As for the language I come across in my own field of research, it's all jargon and possibly designed to obfuscate, not clarify.

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth, by the way. It was a bit of a coincidence for me to get in touch with possible Ricardians today!

Cheers! Shanti.

I must confess that I don't do any needlework - designing & building my model railway layout takes up far too much time! Yes, Maureen had remembered 22 Aug as the day when, as the City of York resolved on 23 Aug 1485, "...King Richard... ...was piteously slain and murdered, to the great heaviness of this City ..."

Thank you i Knew all this Historical facts ,,, but was not aware that some people wanted to reverse the roles of the `bad` and `good`. It is often said that " He who Rules writesthe History Book ". mirjam
